The Emergence Of Alec Burleson’s Hitting In 2024
Has Alec Burleson’s hitting in the 2024 season cemented him as one of the MLB’s best under 26?. During the St. Louis Cardinals final game before the All Star Break, he took a high, floating changeup from Jameson Taillon and sent it just over the right field wall, trotting the bases for his 17th home run of the season and tying Nolan Gorman for the team lead in that category.
